Random shots...

I have been taking photos as a hobby for ages, starting out with an old-fashioned point and shoot, then graduating to a cell phone camera, and then a very basic starter DSLR, which I got as a Christmas gift one year (couldn't begin to afford such a thing myself!). And so, why not throw some of them into a thread?

From my P&S days, years ago:

Saw these delightfully creepy things in a thrift shop, and then ran a retro filter over the photo in Gimp:

I think I'll gradually add more to the thread now and then, instead of dumping everything at once. :-)
 
Thanks for the kind comments! Here's another batch:

Local cemetery - I now and then go there, finding the place marvelously peaceful rather than morbid.

School's out! Took this at a local primary school, where I used to go pick up my landlady's daughter every day - she's now starting her second year at university, can you believe it! I ran a sepia filter over the picture to give it a vintage sort of feel.

And here's one of my landlady's daughter, taken at the Union Building in Pretoria - I opted for a slightly creepy feel.
:cool:
 
I love that creepy lineup of dolls up there! You have a good eye for the creepy factor.

I also really like the 2nd one from your P&S. That's a fabulous gate, and the deep shadow in the foreground really grounds the whole shot. Irresistible!

Nice set!
